Pregnant Rachel Riley can’t stop smiling as she and Pasha Kovalev begin countdown to first baby

expecting her first child with husband Pasha Kovalev, whom she met on Strictly Come Dancing when the pair were partnered together, and as she heads into the final months of her pregnancy, the Countdown star was simply glowing.

Wearing a simple stripey T-shirt top with jeans and an oversized pink coat – and a fun metallic silver backpack – the TV mathematician looked gleeful as she left the studio where she was thought to be filming the Christmas special of the Channel 4 show.

the two took off to Las Vegas for a last-minute wedding.

Confirming their marriage on Instagram, Rachel sported a red and white printed mini dress with a bouquet of red and white roses in hand, while Pasha looked proud and dapper in a black blazer with cream jeans and a white shirt covered in what appears to be small red love hearts.

Rachel captioned the Instagram post: ‘Introducing the new Mr and Mrs Kovalev. We both said yes!’
